Is Low Potassium Normal During Pregnancy?

I am 24 weeks pregnant and I have been feeling really faint almost passing out, my left has been in pain and been feeling like it wants to go numb, and I also have nausea. I ran some blood tests at work and it said my potassium is low being at 3.2. Should I be concerned and should I contact the on call doctor or just wait until tomorrow?

This much potassium is enough. It is only mild low than normal. so no need to correct it.
No need to take any supplement.
Need o take food which has potassium like coconut water.
